Fall 2010

The Lord has given us beautiful weather for the last several weeks. I haven’t been in front of my computer to blog much. I just noticed I’ve only made three posts in the past month and a half. We have seen a lot of work accomplished in that time.

Several teams have made great progress on a few projects, especially the three I reported on a couple of weeks ago. The one house passed all the rough in inspections. We have hung the insulation and sheet rock, painted, laid most of the flooring and set the doors. Lord willing, this week the baseboards will go down and if the kitchen cabinets come in, they can get set next week. I asked the family where they planned to put their Christmas tree, because if everything goes well, they should celebrate Christmas in their new home; perhaps even Thanksgiving..

The second house also has had its insulation and sheet rock hung, the walls have been mudded and sanded and folks are painting there as I type this. Some time in the next couple of weeks, we look to lay the linoleum floor and the homeowner will be almost ready to move in.

Several issues have been addressed at the Mercy House and progress moves forward. We started grouting the brick pavers under the front porch. We’ve set the cabinets and hung the lights downstairs in the future home of the distribution center, and the slab for the storage building out back finally got poured.
